# Campaigns

## What is it for?

The **Campaigns** (Bumerang) screen is where you manage the automatic messages that bring your guests back by themselves. You set them up once; the message goes out when a guest visits for the first time, has not come for a while, or has come a set number of times. The screen also shows how many guests came back after a campaign and roughly how much revenue that brought.

If you are setting up your first campaign, go straight to [Creating your first campaign](/books/bumerang-guide/page/creating-your-first-campaign). This page covers following, editing, pausing and deleting campaigns you already have.

## When do you use it?

- When you want to see how many messages your campaigns sent and how many guests they brought back.
- When you want to change a campaign's message, coupon or sending hours.
- When you want to pause a campaign for a while (for example during renovation) or remove it completely.

## Before you start

- You need the Bumerang marketing package. Without it, this menu opens an introduction screen instead of the campaign list.
- Campaigns only go to guests who gave **commercial message consent** at Wi-Fi login. See how many you have on [Opted-in Guests](/books/bumerang-guide/page/opted-in-guests).

## Step by step: read your campaign results

1. In the left menu, under **Bumerang**, open the **CAMPAIGN** heading and click **Campaigns**. The dark blue summary card at the top shows **Guests brought back by Bumerang** (last 14 days) and the **Estimated extra revenue**. The four boxes below: **Messages sent**, **Returning guests**, **Return rate**, **Active campaigns**. ![Campaigns screen and summary card](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/km-menu-en.png)
2. In the **Return per campaign** list on the right, each campaign is a row: its name, how many **messages** went out, how many **returns** there were, a status badge (*Active*, *Paused*, *Draft*, *Archive*) and the **extra revenue** on the right. Click a row for details. ![A campaign row in the Return per campaign list](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/km-kart-en.png)
3. The campaign details screen opens. At the top: **Returning guests** (14 day window), **Return rate** (of deliveries), **Avg. return time** and **Estimated gain**; below: **Deliveries**, **Delivered**, **Clicks**, **Returned**, **Failed** and the list of the last 200 deliveries. To make changes press **Edit** at the top right; to go back press **Back to list**. ![Campaign details screen and the Edit button](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/km-detay-en.png)

## Step by step: edit, pause or delete a campaign

1. On the **Edit Campaign** screen you can change the **Campaign name**, the **When?** value and the **Message to send**. To pause the campaign, choose **Paused** in **Status**; to start it again choose **Active (running)**. **Draft** and **Archived** send nothing either. ![Status box](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/km-durum-en.png)
2. Under **Advanced settings**, enter the **Average check amount (₺, for the gain estimate)** (example: `350`); the gain is calculated with this value. If you gave a coupon, use **Link the coupon to the menu (applied to prices, opt.)** to tie the discount to the menu: **No discount**, **% percent** or **₺ amount**; scope **Whole menu**, **Selected categories** or **Selected products**; **Expiry (empty = unlimited)**. To limit sending to certain hours and days, use **Start time**, **End time** and **Days (leave empty = every day)** (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun). ![Advanced settings: average check, coupon discount, hours and days](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/km-gelismis-en.png)
3. Press **Save**; "Saved." appears at the top of the screen. **Details** opens the campaign details, **Cancel** leaves without saving. To remove the campaign completely, press the red **Delete** and confirm "Delete this campaign and all of its delivery records? This cannot be undone." To keep past reports, choose the **Archived** status instead of deleting. ![Save, Details, Cancel and Delete buttons](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/km-kaydet-en.png)

## Frequently asked questions

**My campaign is active but no message went out.**  
There may be no consented guests (see Opted-in Guests), or you are outside the hour and day limits. **Welcome** only goes to new guests; it does not go to guests from before you switched it on.

**Does the message go by SMS or WhatsApp?**  
Over the channel the guest logged in to Wi-Fi with: WhatsApp for WhatsApp logins, SMS for SMS logins. No separate channel choice or template approval is needed. On WhatsApp the message goes into a fixed template and the link becomes a button.

**Why is the estimated extra revenue zero?**  
The campaign has no average check amount. Open **Advanced settings** with **Edit** and enter it.

**Does the same guest get the message again and again?**  
**Welcome** and **Loyalty** go to a guest once. **We Missed You** can go again if the guest stays away for a long time again.

**I deleted a campaign and its reports are gone.**  
**Delete** also removes all delivery records and cannot be undone. Use **Paused** to stop and **Archived** to keep.
